What people say
If you like driving this car will excite you. It handles excellent, accelerates quickly . It’s functional lots if room for storage with the seats down . In the winter it’s great in the snow . You can drive it in race mode to hear the engine roar !
Amazing tech, very comfortable, fun to drive. Last year they will be offering stick shift. 20th anniversary edition has no sunroof which I like. Liked it more than the GR Corolla surprisingly. Coming from a 13 year old GTI.
Amazing fun from such a small car. Absolutely love it.
Form & function meet to produce a smooth suburban GT cruiser.
The rising blue color on the Golf R is THE color to have. The stock 18inch wheels are beautiful as well. Interior is top top notch, like something out of a 60K car and the steering wheel is from a lamborghini. Great engine, brakes, steering. Huge interior space.
